CONTAINER AND DISPENSER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 21, 1915.

Application filed November 17, 1914. Serial No. 872,659.

It is an object of my invention to provide a simple, substantial andsanitary container for semi-fluid condiments, and from which it may bedispensed with facility irr desired quantity.

The invention consists of a container with a tubular interiorlongitudinal ridge terminating in an external spout and having aturnable cover engaging a central screw upon which 1s mounted a pistonIt also comprises details of construction which will be more fullyexplained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1is a perspective of the device partly broken away. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal or cross section. Fig. 3 is a cross section through the capshowing the groove.

2 indicates acylindrical container, having along one side an interiortubular ridge 3 forming a duct open at its lower, inner end andterminating at the top with a spout 4. The container is covered with acap 4:, turnable thereon and having a socket 5 to receive and fit thepolygonal head 6 of a screw 7. Upon and shiftable by the screw 7 is anexpressing plunger or piston 8 snugly fitting the inner surface of thecylinder and notched at 9 to receive the ridge 3. Each of the parts isentirely separable from the other and readily cleaned and reassembled.

To charge the container, the cap and the piston, with its screw, areremoved and the condiment inserted. The piston is shifted to the top ofthe screw and placed in the container and the cap adjusted thereon sosuitably that the head of the screw or male part enters the female partor socket 5. Turning the cap in the direction of the indicating arrow aforces the piston down and this expresses the contents of the containerthrough the duct and spout 4:. i

To prevent the cap from being removed from the receptacle 2, except at apredetermined position, it is provided with a flange 10 internallygrooved at 11. The groove is opened'at 12 for the entrance of a lug 13on the exterior of the receptacle which interlooks with the cap by lyingin the groove 11.

The cap can be turned without coming off and can be removed by aliningthe entrance l2 and-the lug 13.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is,

1. A dispenser comprising a container having an interior tubular ridgeleading from the bottom to the top of the container, a plunger notchedto receive the rib and having a central threaded aperture, a screwthreaded through said aperture and having a polygonal head, and acap forthe container having a central depending socket to receive and fit thescrew head so as to allow the cap to be connected to the screw ready torotate the latter by merely placing the socket on top of the head.

2. A dispenser comprising a container having an interior tubular ridgeleading from the bottom to the top of the container, a plunger notchedto receive the rib, a cap on the container and means to rotate the,screw from the cap, said ridge serving as a witnesses.
